Hello everyone. How is everyone? I have been away from the garden web a long time. Been too busy this year to even think much about my yard. That being said...... I was getting a good chuckle as I read all the posts. You guys are just the greatest on earth and I appreciate you so much!!! But...... Dawn the stickers are not on MY property at all....they are miles and miles away out east of town on my niece's place.She has them in a ditch out by the road. She has been going NUTS over them all summer so as I was speaking on the phone with her last week I just posted the question. Her stickers are not the tiny seed like stick tights but the larger grass burr type. But not goat heads. And they do not make huge plants just small plants which grow profusely along the ground. I told her just what you are saying she should do....use pre-emergent and weed killers until they are gone. Now as to my mystery tree.....it has never produced any kind of "stickers" and when it blooms the blooms are a grape-like cluster of white blooms which hang from one stem....like grapes. That photo of stickers you posted Dawn, do look like some wild plants which tend to come up in our dirt pile out behind my DH's barn. But they are easily pulled up so don't pose much of a problem as long we don't allow any of the trash which comes up there to spread. After looking at the photo and knowing my mystery plant so well after all these years I am sorry to say but my mystery is not solved yet.....ugh.....hahaha. But I don't really mind....it is funny to have a weird plant with no identity and it just gets cut down to the ground each fall. He is still with us for now...but soon he will be gone again. I will miss it if one day it gives up and doesn't come back in the spring....it has been with us for so long. haha Thanks for all the good info...as I said you guys are just wonderful and I so appreciate you. Anyone plan to garden in this cool spell we are about to get? NOT ME! haha Thanks! G.M.

Thanks for the tips, especially the one about seeking psychiatric help. @flyleft: I guess I wasn't very clear...my fault! My architect has been paid very well. He probably sleeps on a mattress filled with money. Very well. The GC didn't do anything more than take much too long to provide a cost plus bid for me. Also, I forgot to mention the 300 SF includes a 1/2 bath, but yeah -- you're right. The entire house is about 3400 SF GLA, so not a mega-mansion by any means, but I've been in several thousands of houses over the course of my career (appraisal) and I suppose I'm jaded about bath size! @sherry -- your bath is beautiful! You must be thrilled! And the cat is adorable. I'll check out that site in a bit. Thanks so much! @Bill -- will do -- thanks so much!

I actually sell a product that is vinyl with a removable adhesive backing. Took more than a year to find the right material and adhesive. Trust me when I tell you there is a humongo range of adhesives. When you purchase wall decals, you really don't know if they were made with the 'good stuff' removable adhesive that really is removable AND repositionable or if it's the cheaper stuff that can leave residue. Good news is even the cheaper adhesives are removable albeit with some elbow grease. So my advice is purchase with caution understanding there are differing qualities of "removable" decals. And NEVER apply a decal to a substrate that is not completely stable.

Nancy, I guess I didn't look at my Hobby Lobby ad good enough. I might have zoom on over there sometime this week. I'm going to a crop on Friday (I hope) and get some of my scrapbooking done. Jewels
